About This Home

As of July 2022

Here's an Incredible Opportunity to purchase a home situated on the pond side of Broad Creek River in Portsville, near Historic Bethel. This brick-front Cape Cod offers LR, DR, KIT, FR, 2.5 BAs, laundry room, and 3 BRs including a master BR on the 1st floor. It features hardwood floors and a brick wood-burning fireplace with insert, plus a screened porch & workshop are offered. The beautiful 1+ acre corner lot stretches across Portsville Road to include a 2-car det. garage and small pier on the serene waterfront lot. This property is being sold in "as is" condition (due to a burst water pipe, which has been repaired, some drywall, flooring and fixtures needed removal and need replacing).
